A "triplete" for Jose and new outfit for baby

Jose is thrilled that his son will be born the year of the "triplete" Barcelona won the Champions League, King's Cup and Spanish National tournament! Jose was even more ecstatic when Tomas' girlfriend, Elizabeth, brought back this official soccer jersey for little Pau.

Jose's Birthday 2009

Happy 36th, my love! Each year I try to find a special way to celebrate Jose's birthday. I have to say that they are always meant to be memorable. Although some are moreso than others. I have to say the best so far was the dolphin experience at Seaworld 3 years ago. Last year, it was dinner at Hooters! This year, I got a bit more creative again and booked a gondolier to take us around the cays at Coronado. It was hokey, but it made for a memorable time. The gondolier sang opera as we sipped champagne and nibbled on chocolate covered strawberries. Fun time!

Baby Shower at Seena's

My department head, Seena, was wonderful enough to throw together a baby shower for three of us who are having babies (all within a week of each other). Jo Renison, Mike Pink's wife, Sara, and myself. Seena prepared a mediterranean feast of dolmades, grilled chicken, greek salad, and more. It was delectible! Thanks, Seena! It was a wonderful time for Jose and I both!

Embarcadero Park with Eddie and Kathy

Eddie and Kathy came to see Jose and I for the weekend. So, rather than the usual dinner and movie, we took them to Seaport Village and Embarcadero Park.

We roamed around Seaport Village and had a lot of fun browsing around the shops and the bookstore there. Can't ever seem to remember the name of it, however, I always get great things for the classroom. This latest trip-Gandhi and Eleanor Roosevelt cards as well as some postcards of images of Ellis Island. Sure, everyone rolled their eyes, but I love this stuff.
